#ChooseFrance : serait-il possible de savoir combien y a-t-il d'argent public (subventions, etc) derrière ces 13 Mds € d'investissements étrangers annoncés ?

Pour la seule usine de batteries #Prologium, 1 à 1,5 Md € d'argent public est évoqué sur les 5,2 Mds d'investissements Image
A écouter la communication de l'exécutif, il faudrait se féliciter des annonces (13 Mds € d'investissements 8000 emplois), sans qu'il ne précise combien d'aides publiques (Etat, collectivités, Europe) les subventionnent.

Pourquoi @Economie_Gouv @RolandLescure ?

#ChooseFrance
L'initiative annuelle #ChooseFrance vise à montrer un effet cumulatif : il suffit de jeter un oeil aux cartes annuelles des sites concernés pour se rendre compre que certains d'entre eux reviennent visiblement chaque année (#Mars par ex).

#ChooseFrance
A écouter l'exécutif, il faudrait sauter au plafond pour les 6,7 Mds € d'investissements et 4 000 emplois annoncés. Sauf que
➡️ plusieurs projets ont déjà été annoncés en janvier (Mars x3, Merck etc)
➡️ jamais n'est indiqué combien d'argent public a été donné

#LeMondeDapres
Sans doute faut-il aussi se souvenir que
- #Amadeus, qui annonce 800 emplois, en a supprimé 1800 en France en 2020
- #FedEx, qui annonce 1000 emplois à Roissy, a annoncé en supprimer entre 5 500 et 6 300 en Europe en janvier 2021

Did anyone just post a post - linking
#cookies and 🍪
#science? 👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬👨‍🔬
What a head start for a thread on the #psychology of the cookie monster and why utilitarianism is
2 things
at the same time! 🤯
awww - how I would LOVE to write about the 2 faces of #utilitarianism in the light of our digital future and how the #CookieMonster embodies
1) the worst dystopia and
2) the best utopia same time.
Problem is:
I am trapped in the space-time continuum. Just like ...
The cookie monster.
And my twitter life has too many cookies on the tray.
And there are just 44 minutes left before I will start my shopping trip with K1.
Oh - 43.

🟢Focus sur une des mesures d'@EmmanuelMacron ⤵️
Nous déploierons 600 centres de marche assistée par exosquelette robotique, pour enfants et adultes handicapés locomoteurs, afin de réduire leur handicap fonctionnel et améliorer leur confort de vie. 1/6 Image
L’usage de l’exosquelette améliore le pronostic de rétablissement fonctionnel, prévient la dégradation fonctionnelle, ou encore augmente le confort de vie par le bien-être procuré par l’exercice retrouvé de la marche & par la prévention de douleurs squeletto-musculaires

Le déploiement des exo squelettes en matière de rééducation et de soutien à l’activité physique des personnes handicapées moteur apporte une plus-value considérable à leur vie quotidienne

An investor unfollowed me, after I openly talked about fundraising experiences, how painful it is & how some investors we met treated us poorly (which I think stems from classism). Te investor seemed like a fit in the beginning, but the aftermath of unrealised deal showed truth.
We didn’t want to raise a massive pre-seed. We were clear on that. We wanted to do a small small round to add to our own money, to launch. They dangled a check over our head for few months keeping our hopes up.
In the beginning we aimed to do a bigger round because we didn’t know better. We got some interest, some horrible experiences as well, so generally we found that we are by heart meant to be more lo-fi bootstrapped. This investor seemed on board.

To understand the potential of blockchain in the world of work bypass the maths and slow database design,

instead, focus on how we use our career data.

One of the frustrating things about technology built/deployed in capitalist systems is that any technology built in the public interest is called #TechforGood. It's shorthand for technology built focused on good stuff, not on bad stuff.

Using shorthand here is very problematic.
I see (in the UK) #TechforGood debates and conversations happening separately from policy conversations about governance, questions of rights, and the debates raging over how we should manage all of our digital systems in pro-social, anti-racist, and net benficial ways.
There is no such thing as #TechforGood. There is technology built in accountable organisations, and technology built in unaccountable organisations. There is technology governed with legitimacy, technology not governed at all, technology governed poorly, etc...

Join @sarahdrinkwater, @thomasmhughes and @safiyanoble at 17:00 BST to explore:
🔹what is ‘good’?
🔹who is responsible for ‘good’?
🔹how can we embed ‘good’ into structures and processes to make tech work for people and society?

#CogX2020 #AdaCogX2020 Headshots of speakers Sarah Drinkwater, Director, Beneficial Tech, Omidyar Network; Thomas Hughes, Director of Oversight Board Administration, Facebook and Safiya Umoja Noble, Associate Professor, UCLA and Author, Algorithms of Oppression. Session 5: What does 'good' look like in a technosociety? 17:00-17:45 BST. Ethics & Society stage at CogX by Ada Lovelace Institute
1⃣ @safiyanoble speak for those most vulnerable & those in crosshairs of technology design pay the highest price. We are living in a moment of #BlackLivesMatter outpouring through technology and people using technology to protest, connect, bolster calls for police accountability.
2⃣ We have to talk about the implications of technologies. But does ethics defang and undermine the political implications of technology's responsibility for real harms: being the vessels, microphones, amplifiers for calls for hate and harms? And defangs a structural analysis?

On va clairement vers le confinement. Les services de l état ne pourront pas tout... je ne vois pas d initiative digital #techforgood. Pourtant il va falloir développer le réseautage pro et citoyen car il y aura toute sorte d urgence même si confinement
Exemple vu ce matin: magasin de bricolage fermé mais depuis hier le patron et quelques sss as ladies coupent du plexiglass pour fournir protection aux commerces qui restent ouverts... il y a 1000 choses comme ça à faire et il faudra diffuser les bonnes idées!
Autre exemple un carrefour market (lamballe Bretagne) réserve des plages horaires aux personnes âgées... bref à l’exemple de ce que font les British et américains utilisons le #techforgood dans cette crise sanitaire!!!
